hmm could this be the death of mastersamuel.blogspot.com?

no sé.

i just had such a rich dream

so, sup.

okay after class today i was like "yo i need a nap" especially since i didn't get home from studio until 3:30. and this is what happened:

so my GSI (but i think they only call them that in Berkeley...you know, a T.A.) for my studio class was taking us on a field trip to look at these dolphins. and we went into this one man's backyard, which was set up like a shamu stadium...so legitimate. and then we entered this pool of water and out came these two dolphins. and they were so different. one was like furry and blue-grey and had a short nose and had the letter "C" carved into its side. and the other one was smaller and light grey and really rather forgettable. anyway, our class was talking and there was this one guy who's last name is "Wong," so i had always pronounced it as "wong." but everyone was giving me uneasy looks and i was like "heh?" and then finally this man who's family name is the subject was like "i'm sorry, please stop. my last name is not pronounced 'wong,' it's pronounced 'huh-win'" so i'm like 'ope. my bad' but he goes on to explain how it's highly offensive that i didn't know how to pronounce his last name because there are two different kind of Wongs in the world...those that pronounce it "wong"...and they the good ones. and the "huh-wins" who are like savage people who hop on clouds....

BIZARRRE!

bottom line, get some sleep.

and consider this strange story my attempt to re-enter to blogosphere.

OUTTIEZ.

i want to live in this:

troll chair:

apologies.

i be gone for so long! sorry, september was crazy...academically and otherwise. but just to remind you that i'm alive, here's a lil something something.

i recently started subscribing to a Word of the Day emailing list. which has been good because i remember zero of the words so far.

but perhaps i will remember today's word:

yes, titivate.

application time: let me titivate this weblog post by adding some photos of:

-this staged cliché photo of me on the cusp of inspiration

-this unstaged portrait of my beautiful cousin

outties. (hopefully not for long)

weird as f

lady gaga is a freaque.

weird things that occur in the above 4 minutes:

- lady gaga's back up dancer has a thong over his face. weird

- lady gaga hefts her left leg onto a piano. weird

- non-disabled girl in wheelchair is wheeled onstage, then off. weird

- lady gaga starts bleeding randomly. weird

- lady gaga sings really well. weird

vma's were crazy!

taylor swift, i believe in you. and i watched your music video. you're funny (but i think unintentionally) when you sing "i'm in the bleachers" and go all emo. holla!

carbon copies

kevin gillespie vs. yukon cornelius

enzymesssssss

do y'all remember enzyme dynamite?

yeah that was back in march two thousand and eight. 

dang son.

anyways, are you aware that enzyme dynamite is, yeah, actually a real person?

he has a banner on sfgate.com*

click: ENZYME DYNAMITE LIVES!

*true story: i checked sfgate dot com last night because there was a fat blackout in berkeley. 

i'm in apt. 304 trick!

were you aware that ABDC season IV started?

i kinda wasn't...

or i was but didn't watch. 

but...i did see this baby...and fell in love

starts at 1:12

dang that was good. 

SO i go onto itunes to look up LMFAO's Lalala...and what do i see?

so many versions of "I'm in _________ Trick"

cause i know on 94.9 they play "I'm in the Bay Trick"

but if i were in any of these other locales, i would be lucky enough to listen to:

"I'm in Corpus Trick"

"I'm in Grand Rapids Trick"

or my favorite

"I'm in Chattanooga Trick"

oh man. who knew there were such ballers in these locations.

high school musical kinda sorta

so yeah...it was sad being m.i.a. from berkeley while everyone was coming in.

but instead, i was sneak peaking at this bad boy:

i hope i'm allowed to say the following without getting busted (sup choir directors!) but i thought it was pretty funny....especially if you're into FOBs and the like. and i think the choir sounds grade-A...hitting those harmonies that i so enjoy. and they hath filmed a promotional vijjeo:

so this weekend i'll be back in SF to watch this baby (and i have a cameo...holla to the directors for the hook ups). ticket prices are free.99 so if you want to come, tell me! unless i don't know you (that means you, cyber world)...in that case, stay out my face.

tie-over

some photos

vacay!

waiola pog shave ice, originally uploaded by mastersamuel.

okay, i should probably focus more on being on vacation than being on the interweb....but having a camera is "fun like eff!"

and yeah this my flickr, dun hate.

it is time

encouragement

and just who is this encouraging fellow, EJCballer4?

well, he is self-described as:

I'm a straight baller and ladies get at me!!

i'm going to assume that's an accurate description.

anyway, just a lil glimpse of kindness amidst these trying times. why so trying? sensazn haters... but i guess the bigger question is: why are we even talking about sensazn still...haha

aite, outties

what the what? or... ¿que el que?

shakira - she wolf?

sounds more like an urban outfitters soundtrack, not my dear colombian lady friend singer chick

lessons learned....

....from the midnight showing of harry potter and the half-blood prince

1. i can't understand english accents all too well

2. the actor that plays professor snape is a carbon copy of my 6th grade spanish teacher, Ms. Rooney (yeah, "Miss" as in lady-gendered teacher)

3. albus dumbledore's death has been added to my top three most dramatic deaths in a (child's) movie. in that list,

a. the death of Mufasa, 'the lion king'

b. the death of Artax the horse, 'the neverending story' (as you may remember from 11.18.07's post: "peace out, artax. stay strong")

and now,

c. the death of albus percival wulfric brian dumbledore, 'hp6'

EDIT

4. icees are delicious and texturally smooth

neat-o!

THIS link from yahoo is the most ridiculous thing i've ever read

first, there's this ridiculous picture in the article that was probably taken in 1956

and then these "cool" tips:

Dance around while getting dressed: Turn up the radio or listen to upbeat music on your iPod (if you can) while doing all your morning rituals—an hour of hip shakin’ can burn about 55 calories.

first of all, what does "listen to upbeat music on your iPod (if you can)" even mean...i was previously unaware that some people are only able to listen to non-upbeat (downbeat...?) music.

and "an hour of hip shakin' can burn about 55 calories"....i have never heard of anyone who takes an hour to get dressed in the morning. but maybe listening to upbeat (not downbeat) makes the whole process of getting dressed so enjoyable you can't help but spend an hour "shakin' your hips"

bottom line: you're weird, yahoo article!

(yeah i realize that article was probably for women....deal with it)

a lil' ill

sup people. 

my bad for being absent, and i'm kinda embarrassed that i'm breaking the blogging fast with the following post, but i can deal.

via uncrate,

this ruehl cardigan...

dang looks classy

as it should, for $118. that's straight up ridiculousness. 

that is all.

other than that, i've been with mild sickness for the past three weeks. like phlegmy times 24/7. i don't think i've ever experienced this before...sick enough to feel sick but still healthy enough to function. does that make sense? hopefully.

kcdc's going well. going by pretty fast...half over already! technically, i am contractually obligated to not post photos of the kids or of leaders, so i will not. apologies to all you stalkers out there

and finally, today is july 12, 2009.

a month ago i was...doing nothing

in a month i will be...in hawaii! holla!

interactions

c: "but Horseman likes every movie"

s: "yeah, and you don't like any movie...like i can't believe you fell asleep in Tropic Thunder"

c: "hmm...yeah"

h: "i dunno, _____.....you liked The Proposal"

interesting...

peace and love. apologies.
